Party Won power in 1949 and declared China a
communist state – The People’s Republic of China
Mao ~ leader of CCP and head of government Virtually had complete control as a
dictator
The Great Leap Forward 1958 ~ put in place to speed up
China’s economic development Collective farms were organized
Communes were told what to produce by govt
Within one year, the program failed Droughts and floods damaged food supply Communes failed to produce enough
crops ~ as a result massive starvation 20 million people died during one of the
largest famine in history
Cultural Revolution The failure of the Great Leap Forward made
several people turn against Mao Chinese people began asking for
reform/change Mao did not want any opposition to the
Communist Government In 1960 he began the Cultural Revolution
Schools shut down and students recruited into Red Guards/ Red Army
Factories closed = weakened Chinese economy Government denied healthcare and transportation
Cultural Revolution created mass chaos among the Chinese people
The end of Mao Zedong
Mao Zedong died in 1976 Deng Xiaoping came to power
Made several reforms but maintained Communist values and government control
Chinese citizens were denied basic rights Remained in power until his death in
1997
Tiananmen Square A protest that will forever be remembered Occurred in 1989 Student protesters filled Tiananmen Square for 7

EXPLAIN THE REASONS FOR FOREIGN INVOLVEMENT IN KOREA AND VIETNAM IN TERMS OF CONTAINMENT OF COMMUNISM
SS7H3
Fear of communism Following WWII the Soviet Union was
established as a communist country US and Soviet Union both superpowers trying to
prove which would be dominating world power The US sought out to spread democracy
around the world and CONTAIN communism Desired to protect the rights of citizens world-wide
The US believed that the spread of communism would take over Korea and Vietnam Both of these countries were divided into a
communist country and a southern section which was set up as a democracy
US involvement ~ democracy vs. Communism
The US intervened in both Korea and Vietnam in efforts to contain communism and establish democracies
Korean War 1950-1953 Vietnam War 1965-1975 Even though Vietnam became a communist
nation, South Korea prevailed and has a republican government similar to the US
Democratic forms of government proved more successful when the Soviet Union fell in 1991 There are still communist countries today, however
the US efforts of containment were successful
